i was looking to upgrade to a r9 270x from my gt 610 and when i opened my pc case to see if the graphics card would fit i realised that there were no power connectors for the gpu so i looked online and just about every power supply has connecters, or at least one, except mine. the r9 270x requires 2 power cables.i cant find the specific model of the power supply but it is 500watt

also i listed a picture of what i could use. would these work. i dont want to get them because they are from ebay and are cheap and might break easily

also will the r9 270x be bottle necked with my amd a8 6600k?

My PSU is recent, i bought the PC a month ago, and mine doesnt have 6 pin connectors too. Instead i have 4 sata connectors and 2 molex (and a few fan connectors).
Its also a 500w. I bought one of those and had no problems. (However my GPU only requires 80w, if yours needs 2 cables, it probably requires a lot more)

Typically GPU's will include Molex to 6 pin connectors check the product information to see whats included in the box and please check your PSU to make sure it is capable of supporting the GPU I'd suggest a minimum of 500W.

Don't use that connector, i don't know what they thought they were doing but that red wire shouldn't be going to the PCI-e connector, there should be 3 pins connected to the yellow wires and 3 connected to the black wires, a PCI-e connector should NOT have 5 V and thus no red wire. Most of them will take 2 molex(4 pin) connectors to power the 6 pin connector so they don't have so much current running through the individual pins of the molex connector.

If your computer came with a GT 610 I will almost guarantee you that you won't have the capacity to run a 270x. Open up your case and look at the side of the PSU, on one of the sides it should have a load table like this one, what does it say under your +12V columns?
